Description:
A hard-hitting, two-part funk explosion, “Get It Right” captures Rickey Calloway channeling pure James Brown-inspired energy with an original edge. The track features snapping drums, blistering horns, shouted call-and-response vocals, and razor-sharp rhythm guitar, spread across two sides of relentless groove. Part 1 delivers the vocal fire; Part 2 dives deeper into instrumental territory, extending the break-heavy funk drive.
A cult favorite among deep-funk DJs, “Get It Right” has been featured on Funk 45 compilations and sampled by underground Hip-Hop producers for its raw drum breaks and shouted hooks. Calloway’s work has been celebrated as part of the 21st-century deep funk revival, influencing modern funk outfits like Speedometer and The Mighty Mocambos.
